Mayors, doctor groups sue over Trump’s efforts to restrict Obamacare enrollment
July 1, 2025
New Trump administration rules that give millions of people less time to sign up for the Affordable Care Act’s coverage, and bar some immigrants from buying the health care coverage, are facing a legal challenge from Democratic mayors. The rules, rolled out last month, reverse a Biden-era effort to expand access. The previous Democratic administration expanded the enrollment window for the coverage and permitted roughly 100,000 immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children to sign up for it. As many as 2 million people — nearly 10% — are expected to lose coverage from the health department’s new rules.
